The Buena Vista

The Buena Vista, often called the Buena Vista Cafe, is a bar and restaurant at Hyde and Beach Streets near Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, California. It is known for introducing Irish coffee to the United States: on the night of November 10, 1952, owner Jack Koeppler and travel writer Stanton Delaplane set out to recreate the drink served at Shannon Airport in Ireland. The bar says it serves up to 2,000 Irish coffees a day.
